No, that’s my point. It returns a reference. So it’s a good example of when you might want to return a reference, which you said seemed uncommon. But the reference it returns is unsafe (for example, it gets invalidated if the vector is later resized), whereas the reference returned by the corresponding Rust operator is safe.
On Minecraft (Bedrock, so C++) for years we had a janky python script that used various platform specific project templates to crudely generate a franken-solution.

Eventually we got enough of an effort to do the long task of adopting CMake for every platform. It's soo much nicer and more consistent than what we had and handles most of our platforms out of the box with little custom tweaking for project file generation.

I do like the idea of it using a common language though. Lua, JS, etc. would all be a nice choice. I am not a fan of the custom language just for building.
I went to a public school and on campus housing was much, much more expensive than off campus.
I don't know if that was part of the inspiration or not - I don't recall Rational themselves selling LISP. It was really just a way to speed up the whole compile-link-debug cycle. It was only a relatively short-lived product - I suppose since the speed of Turbo-C provided much of the same benefit.
Given most country songs are "covers" - someone else wrote and produced it, the singer just provides the voice (a few even still play an instrument for what it's worth) - I don't see anything particularly different here.

I guess I do see diminishing returns in Randy Travis' voice particularly. I can already have "his voice" and anyone else's "cover" any song.

If you replaced the famous name with someone with a (subjectively) equal or better voice, then what?

It feels like a rabbit hole of disintermediation between the song and vocal qualities and a real life person.

If it's a a distinction without a difference, when did it ever matter that it was Randy Travis?

Cloudflare tunnels are super convenient and provide lots of auth mechanisms. If you set up a tunnel using cloudflared and proxy the IP through cloudflare, there's nothing even exposed directly to the internet. You can even have different auth requirements for urls (like /admin) or punch holes for stuff like webhooks.

I have set up quite a few as kubernetes pods that direct to private hostnames in different namespaces and pretty happy with it for internal apps.
You believe what you believe. But I've made bad decisions which could have been prevented by common sense. I see people displaying non-common-sense behaviors.

Their hardware is pretty good, but my overall impression (as a mainly Apple user for 30 years) is just that the experience sucks less.

I don’t actually know, but my impression is that they work harder “under the hood” than on the user facing stuff (which ironically is what I want. But in applications and user interfaces, in many cases they have simply lost their way.

But the physical quality from, as you say, the box to the device does feel like it improves the quality, making up in part for indifferent software.

The double irony here is that I can afford to buy expensive goods, but I won’t buy a Prada pullover any more because the zippers are functionally poor. Apple provides a luxurious experience (a nice box with a lovely watch inside) at a cost that a supermarket worker can afford.

The 64-bit time transition ensures Unix time can be used far, far into the future, as described in Vernor Vinge's "A Deepness in the Sky":

> Pham Nuwen spent years learning to program/explore. Programming went back to the beginning of time. It was a little like the midden out back of his father’s castle. Where the creek had worn that away, ten meters down, there were the crumpled hulks of machines—flying machines, the peasants said—from the great days of Canberra’s original colonial era. But the castle midden was clean and fresh compared to what lay within theReprise ’s local net. There were programs here that had been written five thousand years ago, before Humankind ever left Earth. The wonder of it—the horror of it, Sura said—was that unlike the useless wrecks of Canberra’s past, these programs still worked! And via a million million circuitous threads of inheritance, many of the oldest programs still ran in the bowels of the Qeng Ho system. Take the Traders’ method of timekeeping. The frame corrections were incredibly complex—and down at the very bottom of it was a little program that ran a counter. Second by second, the Qeng Ho counted from the instant that a human had first set foot on Old Earth’s moon. But if you looked at it still more closely. . .the starting instant was actually some hundred million seconds later, the 0-second of one of Humankind’s first computer operating systems.

(Yes, Vinge made a slight error here - it's only about 14 megaseconds from Armstrong to the epoch, not 100.)

This bias testing is essentially ruling out candidates with very high probability truncated differentials of Hamming weight 1. In a cryptographic primitive you want to rule out _all_ high-probability differentials, which requires different methods. You also want to rule out other high-probability statistical distinguishing properties, such as linear approximations, higher-order differentials, etc.

That being said, this sort of quick-and-dirty testing is useful to filter out obviously bad candidates at the early design phase of, say, an ARX primitive.
Yep, he used an ammonium fluoride buffer.
> Instead of a standard HF etch, a buffered oxide etch of NH4F (Ammonium Fluoride) in HF can be used to control the etch rate and photoresist lifting. I use approximately 20-30g of 100% NH4F per 50mL of HF (stock whink rust remover)

Ammonium fluoride definitely isn’t as easily accessible as rust cleaner, but you could buy it for a somewhat cheap price on Amazon.

This is the correct answer. Biotech VCs invest very large amounts based on early scientific results and the vast majority of biotech companies go public before they even have revenue because they can't legally charge a penny until regulatory approval. This is how the pharmaceutical has been offloading their increasing R&D expenses onto the public since the patent cliff picked up speed in the 1990s.

A major PR push exposes them to as many investors as fast as possible both at the VC and public level. When the science is particularly solid, this process can happen fast and involve ridiculous amounts of money (i.e Sofosbuvir discovered 2007, first tested 2010, bought for $11 billion in 2011, approved 2013).

Not all people use their downtime like you of course. Some people make art or music, or go on adventures in new places or the woods. Maybe work on projects at home. One of the downsides of the internet generation is we’ve filled our downtime with things like reddit with an infinite scroll extension vs things that can be more personally impactful perhaps that older pre internet generations would engage with.
The issue with apples walled garden is entirely based around how widespread their use is.

Literally from the first time people argued about this, that was at the core of the issue.

Nobody cares if you're creating a hardware device that can only run your OS and Apps if its not in widespread use. The issue occurs only once they're entrenched and can use their market position as an unfair advantage, which apple unashamedly does.

(And so does Nintendo and Sony with their gaming system, yes. The reason why almost nobody cares is because they're not in widespread use. And if they abuse their market position they also get a lot of flak. A lot more then apple ever gets, that's for sure. Just look at the helldivers 2 debacle last week, Nintendo banning people that mod their games in single player etc.)

If you say "when I sent this business my money or goods in the past, they always send me goods or money, so I trust them" you are vulnerable to exit scams and rug pulling. One of Dan Davies' examples is a darkweb market where the mechanism to hold money in escrow until the buyer received the goods was expensive and annoying for sellers, so trusted sellers ask buyers to not use it; eventually those sellers take one last batch of orders, don't send anything, and disappear with the money.
This is what the original paper from Stein says:

"We choose an arbitrary point in the sample space independent of the outcome of the experiment and call it the origin. Of course, in the way we have expressed the problem this choice has already been made, but in a correct coordinate-free presentation, it would appear as an arbitrary choice of one point in an affine space."

The James-Stein estimator in its general form is about shrinking towards an arbitrary point (which usually is not the origin). It respects translational symmetry if you transform that arbitrary point like everything else.
You could, though at least when I bought my house a well test was required.
In the states and in most of Europe, it seems if you have a good idea, you just blurt it out and people say "hunh. that sounds like a good idea. let's do that thing."

It might vary from company to company, but I find the response is more “you should do that thing”. People are too busy with their own ideas to waste time building yours.
There's not much that a pilot can do when a plane is not working correctly. They can recognize the issue but they might not be in a position to do anything about it.

If an auto-form filler is not working correctly the doctor can also recognize the issue and also be in a position to do something about it, namely, fix the error before they submit the form.

That is to say that there's a world of a difference between a pilot flying a plane and a doctor filling out a form.

We are the first and only (for now) verified MI300x provider on gpulist. In order to get verified, I contacted them directly, they asked for a few bits of information about my business, including my EIN. What I'm offering there, is exactly what I have today.

https://gpulist.ai/detail/3c18f8a

> So confused…

I know, it is ok. Let me explain a bit. We are starting small, so the website is the last focus right now. I know the general expected culture is to have some splashy page with a typeform on it, but hey... aren't we also a bit tired of that?

In order to even get access to buy these GPUs, you have to go through quite a lot of effort. You can't just buy them off the shelf from BestBuy. They are export controlled and I've agreed to not use them to build bombs. You have to have a valid business and a great story, or they won't even talk to you. Heck, I even had to prove my business was in good standing in Delaware. I'm pointing this out because I will need to know all my customers too. My business isn't something someone just signs up for on a website.

These GPUs are also extremely expensive. Imagine a 350lbs Ferrari. We started with 8 of them (one chassis) because they are super new and it was a proof of concept. Last year, we didn't even know for certain if AMD would double down on AI. This is all we initially raised funding for. As soon as we deployed the compute, we immediately had a customer on them, all without a website. Just word of mouth. By the way, the success of the PoC unlocked our next round of funding, and we are working on a much larger order of MI300x right now.

Don't worry, you'll get a website at some point. That said, these things sell themselves, you either have them or you don't. I've been very transparent and public about what we are up to. Would a website really help here? Maybe. But I've also started other extremely successful businesses originally without websites too. At the end of the day, I'd rather spend investors money on buying more compute, than a pretty website. Once I have some more revenue, I'll funnel that right back into the business and work on marketing/sales more.

I'm not sure I understand. In 1937 we already knew that light and RF are both part of the EM spectrum so I don't know what you mean by generating waves that break the laws of physics (we have and had absolutely no issues generating waves with 100s of THz frequency). As a physicist coming from the optics I find naming in RF often quite puzzling, e.g. why do we call it microwave, while wavelengths are all longer that millimeters?

No, the complexity comes from people, both the taxed, and those who impose them, and those who manipulate the legal process for relief. Computers actually give the sums a chance to be somewhat correct.
I always thought we started fluoridation of water so the Soviets couldn't figure out how much uranium (and later plutonium) we were producing. UF6 is a bi-product of uranium enrichment and it's fairly straight-forward to estimate how much we're producing by taking water samples at the mouths of various rivers. But if everyone is brushing their teeth with fluoride, then it's a lot harder to accurately measure how much is due to enrichment.

This is very clearly a conspiracy theory, but water fluoridation is one of those topics that seems to attract them.

I'm rather baffled that it's possible to not know that sugar is bad for your teeth, as it's pretty much the most often repeated fact about teeth ever.

Technically sugar itself doesn't do anything to teeth. But sugar is food for bacteria. Sugar in mouth = mouth bacteria happily multiply and literally form a biofilm covering your teeth (plaque). Some of them excrete acidic metabolic products. Acid dissolves enamel (hydroxyapatite). The bacteria infestation also irritates gums and causes gingvitis and so on. Less food for bacteria = fewer bacteria = healthier teeth.
The challenge for certifying in software engineering seems similar to the challenges you'd face in any creative, building oriented professions. That is you can't test for it with some sort of standard exam. You need to have the person build something and then have established masters of the field evaluate it. But that requires a professional structure we don't have.

I think we both agree that the people now who cry about SJWs are not particulary insightful or interesting.

But you equating his manifesto to that makes me think you didn't read it, or at least didn't do so with an intent on understanding it. There are millions of shallow/lazy summaries online, so if you read a summary or blog post about it, you've done yourself and the text a disservice.

It's the very much not "crying about" what he calls "leftists" which I'm guessing you are translating into "SJWs," particularly in the current sense. He goes into significant analytical detail about why he thinks what he thinks. You also have to consider his background and experiences, from being severely isolated/deprived of human contact as a child due to the medical advice of the day, to his experience as a rare math prodigy and one of the youngest professors. From wikipedia[1]:

> In late 1967, the 25-year-old Kaczynski became an acting assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley, where he taught mathematics. He assumed the position as the youngest assistant professor in the history of the university.

Think about the different environment that was than today! This was the late 60's. Leftists then were very different than they are now, and he was at Berkeley. If you're unaware, there was a significant cultural development going on at Berkeley in the late 60s. Further[1]:

> Without any explanation, Kaczynski resigned on June 30, 1969.[35] In a 1970 letter written by John W. Addison Jr., the chairman of the mathematics department, to Kaczynski's doctoral advisor Shields, Addison referred to the resignation as "quite out of the blue".[37][38] He added that "Kaczynski seemed almost pathologically shy", and that, as far as he knew, Kaczynski made no close friends in the department, noting that efforts to bring him more into the "swing of things" had failed.

This period undoubtedly had a huge impact on his life, and not considering this when evaluating his text is a mistake IMHO. Also there is so much more depth to this than what I've said here, but I'm unfortunately out of time for the moment.

Yeah I agree with this. Nginx config is easy and you can just set it and forget it. Most of the time you're copypasting from other configs you already have anyways. Automatic LE is kinda a strange selling point when Certbot is available everywhere and supports more scenarios. Traefik's and Caddy's selling points just don't make any sense to me because they don't make anything easier than the alternatives that are already widely supported.
